Our spring break is in April and boy did we have glorious weather! It was sunny 🌞 sunny🌞 sunny🌞 the whole week with crazy temps up in the 80s! Totally unheard of for April in New England.
"April in New England is like first love," Gladys Taber
My Dad told us about a tulip farm where you could pick your own tulips. There is one in Connecticut but we headed to Rhode Island and made a day trip out of it. And it was lov - e - ly. 💗
"The earth laughs in flowers," Ralph Waldo Emerson
The brightest reds and yellows, and varieties that I'd never seen. It was a glorious day indeed.
“I love tulips better than any other spring flower; they are the embodiment of alert cheerfulness and tidy grace, and next to a hyacinth look like a wholesome, freshly tubbed young girl beside a stout lady whose every movement weighs down the air with patchouli. Their faint, delicate scent is refinement itself; and is there anything in the world more charming than the sprightly way they hold up their little faces to the sun.” – Elizabeth von Arnim
oh goodness, why I didn't take more pictures that day is beyond me! We found the cutest antique shop (Homespun Cottage Antiques and Collectables) in a darling town (click HERE to see a few images of that town since I didn't take any pictures) and ice cream for Abigail.
On the way home we had a lovely dinner in Mystic CT. We've eaten here before and just love it so much!
And later that day when we took them home they filled vases throughout our house. Spring, glorious, spring!
"If we could see the miracle of a single flower, clearly our whole life would change."
